The single greatest YES statement ever made. Nothing else to compare it with:

When Jesus said yes to the Father....saying, "Father, if You are willing, remove this cup from Me; yet not My will, but Yours be done."

....that is THE MOST SIGNIFICANT YES the entire universe will ever have. It tops anything Mary, you, me, or anyone else could ever do.

To try and equate Mary with this displays a lack of understanding of the Word and Who Jesus really is and what He's done for us.

No where did I say that. You misrepresent my position and therefore knock down a straw man. Mary’s YES is a singular YES just as EVE’s NO was a singular NO in our salvation history. That is why Catholics venerate Mary. Mary is not a goddess, but she’s unique. There is no “Father, if You are willing, remove this cup from Me; yet not My will, but Yours be done,” without, “Be it done to me according to Thy Word.” I am not elevating Mary above Jesus; I am merely stating the facts. Protestants, especially Protestants with Calvinist leanings, have a very difficult time understanding free will. Mary consented; Eve defied.
